Add to that the fact that the Slice is almost half the price of the RS, has an amazingly accommodating fit and is exceptionally light in its class and you have a very serious machine for the money. The Cannondale Slice was developed to cater to both the riders who take their riding very seriously as well as those who maybe do a few Triathlon every year. You will have seen the bike underneath the Liquigas Cannondale team in 2011 as well as Chrissie Wellington atop many an Ironman podium. This is testament to the bike's versatility; both a solid and punchy ride over the short distance yet smooth and comfortable enough to perform over the hundred mile.
